The Prosecutor in the Turkish capital filed a complaint on behalf of President Erdogan. The reason for the complaint was a satirical poem by the German comedian Jan Beerman, which the author read to the German public television channel ZDF.

The position of the comedian has nothing to do with the concept of freedom of speech, said in the 15-page complaint. According to the lawyer of the Turkish President Hussein Aydin, in the poem contained coarse allusions and accusations against Erdogan, Anadolu Agency reports.
